T.A. Davenport has created a wonderful and exciting world in her novel The Great Balance. This is a book about good and evil with just the right amount of romance.

The characters in the book are very well developed. My personal favorite is Briellyn. She is the heroine of the novel, and she seems so real! She is a strong and confident business woman who is also so kind and good. I would love to have her as my boss! Another character I love is Eric. He is just all sorts of amazing. He is the perfect guy.

Ms. Davenport's writing is very vivid and easy to follow. The pace of her work is not too fast nor too slow. It is just right and makes you want to just keep on reading!

Also, the plot in this novel is so fresh and new! I loved the twist on the creation story from the Bible. I have yet to read anything that took a spin on Adam and Eve before, and it was really interesting!

All in all, T.A. Davenport has a special gift, and I am sure there will be more greatness to come!

*I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.*

For a little background as to why I wanted to read this book about the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders: when I started my first food service job in 2004, my boss had posted this story on the back door, to insure everyone always locked it. In 1991, when Austin wasn't so big and things like murder weren't really a thing, four girls were murdered and burned while working in a Yogurt Shop in West Austin. This book covers it and does a really good job at gathering information. I got a hold of a copy that had been last updated in 2017. This case is still a cold case, which is terrible. A few of the guys that 'confessed' were sent to jail for a little bit, but were released because those confessions were found to be false, and DNA results proved the guys weren't even there. And, now one of those guys is dead, shot by police a few years ago. Now the crime isn't really common knowledge as it was, but it still resonates.
The story on the back door really did the trick, that back door to the restaurant I worked at was always locked when I was there.

I just finished the game and it really delivered. The main story is pretty much the same as the original, but there are some new elements that change a few things here and there. Those changes honestly make the game better and add some great elements to the story as well as allowing you to get to know some characters better like Biggs, Jessie, and Wedge. The battle system is done really well making fights and boss fights fun. There are side quests and mini games that add more to the exploration of Midgar. Getting to see Midgar in depth like this definitely adds to the atmosphere and story of the game. The music for the game is perfect and the fact that each character has their own theme song is a nice touch. Cloud is much better here too. The story takes the time to show the pain and trauma he has suffered, but also allows him to be a little more vulnerable with his emotions as well. Getting to see him gradually open up and grow as a person as he gets to know everyone was great to see. The game is amazing and got everything just right.
